one of my favourite pieces of fashion news from the last week; model, musician and general creative master Karen Elson is planning on opening a vintage boutique named Venus and Mars in Nashville, Tennessee.
"I want to sell everything from vintage Kenny Valenti and rare Ossie Clarke to Valentino couture — but also cheaper vintage stuff to attract a wider audience."
i think this idea is cute as pie.
clever karen, it comes up with a genius alternative to the the model turned actress formula.do you think any of her freebies will end up as hand-me-downs? fingers crossed.
and three cheers for selling some cheap vintage, second hand prices can be ridiculous.

i love that she has decided to open the store in Nashville...
mmm... whch one will be better, Milla's boutique, Helena's or Karen's? :P
exactly! she's not the only one! it's one of the mature models' dreams i think.
let gemma dream of an oscar!
I agree with Susie Bubble, haha... Nashville!?
But I love her and her gorgeous hair, and I wish I could check that boutique out!
That might mean making a first trip there...I like Karen's look a lot...
hmmm, i might have to take a road trip to tennessee very soon...
ha - i never thought i would say that!

Wow, she is quite an impressive woman. This latest scheme seems so random...
Too bad it would be on the other side of the country for me :(
cool idea, more reasons to love TN
That is just about the only thing worth making a trip to Nashville for, even though I live only 3 hours away.
Shame I'd have to cross an ocean just to get there! Sounds cool though, vintage shops in London are mostly ridiculously expensive.
Really pretty graphic. I think it's a great idea, shame it will be over in America!
karen is rather wonderful and that shop sounds like a treasure throve.
I have lots of posts to catch up on here, must get reading! Cannot wait for the edge of love either! I have been lusting after those oufits with a year!
Love her style, I want to check out her store!
ps - tagged you :)
Awesome picture!
Nashville? Damn -- let's hope she'll have an online store too...
